How To Find The Right Jeans To Fit Your Body Type

If you have a thinner upper body and heavier hips or thighs, opt for high-rise jeans that accentuate your waist—jeans that taper towards the ankle tend to look more flattering on you as opposed to flared ones that can make your frame appear larger. High-rise jeans are also perfect for women with long torsos as they can comfortably sit on your hips.

If your upper body is heavier than lower, mid-rise jeans are your best bet. However, you can opt high-rise wide legged, flared or bootcut jeans to even out your frame. Stay away from extremely skinny jeans and opt for slightly loose styles.

Mid and high-rise jeans in blacks and navy blues will give you a more structured silhouette. Opt for stretchy fabrics and fitted jeans that will help make your legs appear longer. No matter what your height is, these jeans will look flattering on you.

A petite body type doesn't necessarily mean that you're skinny. It means that you're basically small, thin and can happily shop in the kids' section. You may have to struggle with the length but the good part is that all kinds of silhouettes look flattering on you. If you wish to appear taller, opt for ankle-cropped or 3/4th lengths and high-rise jeans.

For you, mid and low-rise jeans work the best. If you wish to wear flared jeans, you must know that the silhouette will elongate your frame even more. Boyfriend and mom jeans will help add some weight to your frame as they provide a relaxed fit from hip to thigh and taper towards the end.

Always remember these tips while choosing your denim—stretchy fabrics are universally flattering, high-rises work for curvy women, low-rises and baggy silhouettes work for skinny women and flared silhouettes help to add length. Just keep these tips in mind and we're sure finding the perfect jeans won't be a task for you anymore! _Image credits: killerfashionirl, macy's, nordstorm, emmacloth _
